GEORGE objectives
GEORGE is a project funded by Horizon Europe that is developing innovative technologies aimed at improving ocean observations. The technologies developed will mark a new milestone in systematic, autonomous and long-term ocean observations. GEORGE brings together 28 leading partners from both academia and industry, including three research infrastructures: EMSO ERIC, Euro-Argo ERIC and ICOS ERIC. Together, these three ERIC infrastructures cover the entirety of European marine waters.
POKaPOK’s involvement (2023-2027)
POKaPOK is involved in WP4, and more specifically Task 4.1, which will develop a multi-infrastructure roadmap. This roadmap will complement the improvements resulting from the H2020 ENVRI-FAIR project and from WP2 (sensor innovation) and WP3 (platform innovation) of GEORGE. It aims to establish an improved, integrated, multi-infrastructure, high-quality observational data value chain, drawing on data streams, metadata and data products from the Euro-Argo, EMSO and ICOS ERICs.
As for POKaPOK, work is focusing on the possibility of extending QuinCe so that it can carry out data-processing routines relating to dissolved oxygen and uncertainty estimates, as standard operating procedures are finalised.
